The king ride

I am riding bullet electra since 2014. It has got reliability issues but it’s because of poor service of RE. Like all other brands they are just into money making and i also doubt about the knowledge and skills of their mechanics. The best solution is to look out for bullet specialists (yes these guys exist) in your neighbourhood. These guys are literally doctors of bullet. And if u ask them , they will also teach you basic troubleshooting and repair for your bull. I did my first servicing at authorised service centre and then i never visited them. Its not that i had bad experience but i got gut feeling that these guys are simply not competent to repair a bullet. Its also because they have loads and loads of customers. So obviously the quality of service goes down. So i took advice from few elders who own a old bullet and i got a very good doctor for my bull. So my advice to those who are hating RE or their bike is to find a very good bullet specialist.
Next important thing is your riding style. I owned a unicorn before but the bullet is totally different from these refined and quick 150-250 cc bikes. In the beginning i missed the quickness of unicorn. I tried it with bullet but it cost me oil leak from the engine. I learned that bullet is not designed for that purpose. Bullet is popularly known as “raja gadi” The kings ride. And yes it is.
Don’t buy a bullet if you are always in a hurry. My daily commute is max 25 km and hence never in a hurry. When i go touring my max speed is between 75-80. Some guys might laugh. But comeon guys. Its touring. Destination is not important. The journey is. Or to be specific “enjoying the journey “. The ride is very comfortable both on highways and offroads. The sitting position is the best. No bike offers such comfortable upright position.
Overall i would like to end my review by saying that bullet is for those who enjoy the journey rather than those who are in a hurry to reach destination. Plastic bikes come and go. I have never seen anyone still caring for or proudly displaying their 1st pulsar or the 1st unicorn. But i have seen guys proudly displaying their “1978 bullet” or the “1980bullet” etc. etc. etc. so bullet is not just a bike. Its cult. Its a legacy.

i bought the bike on may 8 2019. from the first week itself the problems started. bike is turn off ( missing problem) while driving. i escaped from an accident from god sake. due to right side pulling my hand getting paining. i approached 13 times to service centre. but it never solved till. today is the 4th month since i purchased the bike. i used it only for 1 month. other times it is in the service centre. they arwe telling that right side pulling is a common charecteristics of bullet. till date i changed skull, silencer pipe, relay, bulb, fork, handle etc in warranty. this clearly showing how much quality the royal enfield's products have. when i asked them for my vehicle service history they told that it cannot be given. they will not give the details of the parts they replaced.it is the terms and conditions of the royal enfield. the one thing i want to ask to the company is that why you are hiding these information from the owner itself. i think the consumer cannot complaint against this company ,we dont have much evidence. if the history include all the thing they replaced we can easy prove about the quality of the bike in court. that may be they are hiding such details. if you are genuine and have trust in your product you will never hide things like this. i shame on myself as an owner of a bullet.
